General Information

Tractor Requirements: 17-35 horsepower tractor with Category 1 Three Point Hitch Weight: Approximately _____ lbs. Speed of Operation: 3 to 4 M.P.H. (6 to 6.5 k.ph.) Route of Operation: Forward direction only. Straight lines and turning are permitted.

Hooking up the Three Point Hitch

1. Select a tractor minimum 17 horsepower or greater equipped with the standard Category “0” or “1” Three Point Hitch.

2. Free up all linkages, pivot ball joints with adequate caution to ensure proper movement of the linkage. This also ensures hook up is quicker & safer.

3. With both the tractor & seeder on a level, firm surface, first measure the distance from the two rear Three Point Hitch arms “C” & “D” to the ground - with the arms in the lowest position, ground clearance should be no greater than 6” (15 cm). Adjustment to the vertical tractor lift links “F” & “G” may be necessary.

4. Safely reverse tractor to seeder, and “shut-off” the tractor’s engine. Connect the left hand tractor hitch arm “C” onto the edger, pick-up pin locate the lock snap pin into the pin hole.

5. Connect the right hand tractor hitch arm “D” onto the seeder, pick-up pin locate the lock snap pin into the pin hole.

6. Connect tractor adjustable top link “E” to the tractor and to the top hole in “A” frame of edger. Be sure snap pins are in cross holes of connecting pins, use hardened pins, NOT Bolts.

7. While the seeder is in raised position, level the seeder horizontally to the rear axle of the tractor.

8. Safely and slowly lower the seeder to the ground. When the seeder is resting on the ground, adjust the tractor top link “E”, either in or out to ensure the mainframe is 90 degrees to the rear of the tractor. There should be 5/8” (16 mm) clearance from the tips of the spiker tines, to the level ground.

9. Lift the seeder for transport to approximately 18” (46 cm) of height and proceed to the field surface to be seeded.

Note: Top Link “E” can be either manual adjustable or hydraulic type. Start tractor engine, raise seeder to height of 2 ft (60 cm) off of the ground. Ensure parking brake is on before leaving the tractor seat. With the unit raised up, adjust “Side Sway” turn buckles “A” & “B” to prevent “Side to Side” movement of the seeder. Be sure when adjusting side sway to centre the seeder to tractor to ensure seeder follows in a straight line of cultivation behind the tractor.

Basic Maintenance

Each Time before Use: Grease the hitch pins prior to attaching the seeder to the tractor. Grease all fittings on the screw jacks (2 per jack) Grease each fitting on the end bearings. Lubricate the spoke wheel and drive chain with summer grade chain saw oil.

Each Time after use: Open the slide chute in the seeder hopper, lift the unit free of the ground, rotate the calibrator wheel until all the seed is dispensed from the hopper, and use a shop vacuum to collect any remaining seed.

Tool Adjustments

The following guidelines below should be achieved while the unit is sitting level with the ground. Spiker Wheel: Two inches in the ground. Seed hopper: Three inches above the ground. Long Tine Rake: 3/8” - ½” in the ground.

Calibration Rates

1 Raise machine clear of the ground and pour 20 lbs. of seed in the hopper evenly distributed across the bottom end to end.

2 Set the guage dial on #6 place a plastic sheeting below the seeder. Open the chute control, and turn the calibrator wheel 50 complete turns counter-clockwise, the close the chute control. Weigh the collected seed in pounds. This weight is the pounds per 1000 square feet.

3 Repeat step 2 a total of three times to ensure that the rate is correct.

Note: To determine the number of pounds required by acre, multiply the number of pounds per 1000 square feet by 43.56.
